I'll chime in with what others have said, the single biggest leap forward in the quality of my homebrew was fermentation temperature control. My next step is to set it up so I push from the fermentor to the keg using co2 to cut out any exposure to air. Edit: I'd be remiss if I didnt mention...

I scale most of my recipes to 6 gallons

Beersmith2 & bru'n water

Got all my ingredients for an attempt at Stone's Xocoveza

Okay time for some Grainfather beer porn: Grainfather in action with my initial brew, SS Brewbucket with FTSs doing its thing. And about an hour ago the first pour! @OldSock recipe: Softer & Jucier APA which turned out unreal. Best homebrew I've ever made...hands down.

Oh hell yes!

I think you're 100% correct that 304 is used commercially due to the caustic cleaners they use more so than anything. And also correct that most home-brewers, the vast majority I would suspect, use something like pbw or oxy. That said I, personally, don't have a preference in stainless since...

This is probably a more informative link comparing 201 vs 304 http://www.stainlesssteelblog.com/2012/11/304-vs-201-stainless-steel.html I believe commercial brewery equipment is generally manufactured with 304

Yup thats a boil for sure, and all you need!

grainjacket looks good man!:mug:

Outstanding!! I'll post some pics too, as soon as I get a chance

I'm all for trying new things & methods but I just don't think that adding dme & tap water into my erlenmeyer needs to be changed. I mean its not that hard or time consuming

As much as I love fresh IPA's I've always been more of a porter/stout man myself. I drink them all year round ..season be damned!

Haven't had the pleasure of drinking any Trillium to date although everything I read suggests that they're making fantastic beer. I was able to get cans of the OtherHalf/Trillium collab Street Green which is very good.

The beauty of having an opinion is we are each entitled to our own. That said, my opinion of Treehouse, specifically the two you mentioned, is the polar opposite of yours. :mug: Lawson's make wonderful beer. Grimm is a gypsy brewer who have been absolutely killing it lately, again just one beer...

I'm with you there! As much as I love my SS BrewBucket I wish I had opted for the 7g SS Chronical. BTW the FTSs fermentation temp control kicks ass.

going to brew a Brett Saison using YB Saison Blend & ECY Dirty Dozen

If you decide to parse it out I'll take the citra!

Hmm great idea! I've just been sticking a sanitized thermometer in the outflow

Ouch that sucks. Let me brighten your day... I'm betting you're going to love the Grainfather. I love it so much that I already have my next 3 brews planned out and grain/yeast orders placed.
